Before the Court are Plaintiffs' Motions to Appear Pro Hae Vice of Toby J.
Marshall and Blythe H. Chandler (Docs. 8; 9). Plaintiffs state that Alex Rate will
act as local counsel for both Marshall and Chandler. Defendants have not yet
entered an appearance in this case so as to be heard on this issue. Regardless,

Accordingly,

condition that Marshall and Chandler shall do their own work. This means that
they must: (1) do their own writing; (2) sign their own pleadings, motions, and
briefs, and (3) appear and participate personally in all hearings and other
proceedings scheduled by the Court. Marshall and Chandler shall take steps to
register in the Court's electronic filing system ("CM-ECF"). Further information
on CM-ECF is available on the Court's website, www.mtd.uscourts.gov, or from
the Clerk's Office.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Marshall and Chandler shall file separate
pleadings acknowledging their admission under the terms set forth above within
fifteen days of this Order. Should either fails to do so, this Order is subject to
withdrawal as to non-compliant counsel.
